Despite the name, I really like Trae Crowder, the LIBERAL Redneck. He talks about the south and how it isn't all that bad, and quite frankly I agree with him.

  • The south is the most diverse region in the US
  • 35% of the LGBT community in the US lives in the south
  • Texas, for example, is actually a pretty blue red state, and Georgia flipped as of recently. Sure, Georgia will flip right back, but it shows that these places are not lost causes.
  • Virginia has pretty consistently flipped, and it was once a confederate state
  • Voter suppression is the enemy here.

Don't get me wrong, I know electoralism will not save us, but it is at least a sign of changing attitudes. So what has been the best way to get people to come around?

      Poor rural people have way more in common with PoC than they do with middle class white people in their own communities. You can even see this in the social dynamics of urban factories where a significant number of their workers come from rural counties and the "inner city". It's literally just politics and a lack of social awareness that creates the rift.
